Weʼve raised £730 to remember Rycroft, by doing the Yorkshire Three Peaks
- Funded on Friday, 12th January 2024

Story
Katie L and Katie I are taking on the Yorkshire Three Peaks in memory of Rycroft Alport Foster, who tragically lost his life at just 16 months old due to complications following a bone marrow transplant. This was necessitated by his genetic condition, Shcwachman-Diamond Syndrome (SDS).
The challenge involves conquering three of Yorkshire's most iconic peaks: Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough, all within 12 hours.
Their mission is to raise funds for:
Great Ormond Street Hospital, Fox Ward
Colchester Hospital, Children's Ward
All funds donated will be split evenly and will go to support these charities, who played such a huge role in supporting and caring for Rycroft, and give us hope that other families in a similar position will see their children grow up to live full and happy lives.
If you have any cash to spare, and are able to sponsor the Katies, you’ll be contributing to the life-changing work, in memory of Rycroft. Your support will make a significant impact on the lives of those in need, and their families.
Thank you - Andrew and Catherine, Katie and Katie :)
